The Volcano Rainforest Lodge is a luxury craftsman house in an ancient forest.
We are located only a few minutes from the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park main entrance near Kilauea summit and the friendly artists community of Volcano Village. Volcano Rainforest Lodge is located in a secluded, private, 9-acre forest estate. Each room is designed to view the forest and lava outcroppings.

The Lodge was designed with privacy in mind. No other guests will be on the property during your visit. The house is located on an extremely quiet, 3-acre lot. The 3-acre lots on either side have been acquired to allow for additional peace and quiet.

This Lodge has 2,300 square feet, on one level with three bedroom/bathroom suites, gourmet kitchen, living room with lava rock fireplace, 16' x 20' dining room, laundry room and over 1,400 square feet of covered, outside living area (lanai) with comfortable seating. The home has three staircases which access the main level. The rear staircase has only four steps. A guest favorite - " The "hot tub under the stars" is behind the dining room lanai.

The Lodge has three king bedroom suites. With advance notice, one suite can be arranged with two twin beds. We also have two roll-away twin beds an inflatable twin bed, a Pack-N-Play, and a crib for larger groups and groups with younger children.

The Lodge has Mango flooring, and door/window trim. Mango is also used in the bathroom cabinets and mirror frames. The doors are solid core knotty Alder. The ceilings are beautiful Canadian Pine with Red Western Cedar beams from Oregon. Counter tops in the Lodge are granite. Bathroom walls and floors are gauged Quartzite.

This beautiful home provides all the elements to make your vacation on the Big Island a memorable experience.

The Lodge is like a breath of fresh air amidst the beautiful forest of Ohias and Hapu'u tree ferns; a quiet place to relax and unwind, while being located close to the various adventures in the area.

The Volcano Rainforest Estate is an awesome property. The home is very comfortable and is perfect for family or a group of friends. The design and layout is excellent. Highlights include the large dining room separate bathrooms for each bedroom and the wrap around lanai. We enjoyed our evenings listening to the sounds of the rainforest. Truly peaceful. The location is great for accessing the National Park and Hilo area. Jenny and team are outstanding hosts. Their communication was excellent starting with the reservation process through checkout. We would stay again if in the area.

We absolutely loved our stay. The rainforest is so white and peaceful, we didn't want to leave. The size of each room is wonderful and we love each having our own bathroom. The location is perfect to Volcano National Park. This is my number one pick for the next time we visit Big Island.

Magical Rainforest Stay

Loved this beautiful, handcrafted home tucked into an amazing rainforest. Loads of space for 4 adults and 2 children. Sitting outside listening to the night sounds of the rainforest was unforgettable. This house has lots of interesting artwork—so I will say that if you have an inquisitive 4-year-old in your group, you will have to keep vigilant watch!! Getting to the national park and Hilo was easy.

Beautiful Rainforest Lodge

This home and property looks even better in person than it does in photos. It is so close to Volcano National park (5 miles), but also close enough to other great areas like the black sand beach. The beds, pillows, towels were all top quality and comfortable. There was excellent communication with the owner before and during our stay. Truly a VRBO gem.

Beautiful, Peaceful, and GREAT Location for Volcanoes NP

Perfect house for our trip to the east side of the island to see Volcanoes NP. The house is GORGEOUS and secluded. Loved hanging out on the wrap around porch surrounded by the rainforest. Less than 15 minutes to the entrance of the national park. Great communication and cleanliness. Would rent again if going back to this area!

Oahu hiking group

The house and grounds are incredible! There are even are exotic pheasants that visit in the morning for toast! We enjoyed how large and roomy the house is. We also enjoyed all of the incredible windows that look out into the beautiful grounds. Whether sitting on the lanai for cocktails, or sitting by the fire in the brisk morning or playing board games on the enormous dining table, we were comfortable and truly enjoyed our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Rob and Jennifer Owens

Host profile image
features from every room and private lanais. We built this home to last for generations, with only high quality construction materials being used. The Volcano Rainforest Lodge took years to complete because great efforts were made to spare the forest and lava features. No bulldozer ever touched the lot with the utmost effort being made to protect the many endangered trees and plants on the grounds. The utilities were placed underground to maximize the views from The Lodge.

Why they chose this property

The property was chosen because of its location. While only minutes away from the national park, Volcano Village, and the golf course, the home site has a remote, rural feeling for those who desire privacy and quiet. The owner's cottage is on the property down a second drive to give guests privacy. The elevation of the lodge is about 3,025' and the daytime high temperature is rarely over 78 degrees. The property is within Hawaiian Orchid Island Estates. The nine acre estate allows for an extensive hiking trail network exclusive to our guests. The property has numerous lava outcroppings to explore as well as 200-year-old Ohia trees, rare native plants, and 20' Hawaiian Hapu'u tree ferns. Construction of the Volcano Rainforest Estate was completed in December 2012.

What makes this property unique

The Lodge has over 1,400 square feet of covered, outside living area. Comfortable patio furniture surrounds the house for guests to enjoy the forest in every direction. After a day in the park guests may enjoy a relaxing rest in the hot tub while viewing the beautiful fern forest and stunning night skies. All of the lava excavated during construction was used in the foundation of the home, fireplace, and retaining walls. Exotic woods add to the beauty and elegance of The Volcano Rainforest Lodge. A giant Mango tree which was blown down in a storm and blocked the highway is now our floor and trim. Come and enjoy this beautiful Hawaiian Craftsman home.
